8423 Avenue N, Brooklyn, NY 11236

The two-family house at 8423 Avenue N in Canarsie, owned by Pierre Jean Baptiste, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, with the most significant being an active infestation of mice in the second-floor apartment reported in June 2024, which remains open as of July 2025. The building, constructed in 1955, has documented safety and health concerns in the past two years, including a broken window guard in September 2023 (an emergency situation that was supposedly corrected) and multiple complaints about standing water in August 2023, though inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found no violations in these instances.

A notable violation from October 2021 regarding excessively hot water (over 130 degrees) in the second-floor apartment was recorded but subsequently closed. Despite these issues, there have been some efforts to address building maintenance, including a permit issued in September 2023, though the specific nature of this work is not detailed in the available data.

The property's record shows a concerning pattern of health and safety issues, particularly in the second-floor unit, with multiple housing maintenance code complaints and violations over the past few years. The most recent pest infestation complaint from mid-2024, classified as a "B" violation, represents the only current open violation on record, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development having issued citations during their inspection.
